Together We Can Stop COVID-19

COVID-19 has taken a toll on our region. At Better Health Together (BHT), we are working with community partners to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. BHT is committed to an equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution process that removes the barriers many people in our region face accessing the vaccine.

BHT and our community partners launched a 2021 campaign to normalize vaccination, which features leaders, influencers, and health experts from across the region sharing their vaccine stories and encouraging others to get vaccinated. Our Trusted Messenger COVID-19 Vaccine Campaign is running on TV, cable, and radio across Eastern Washington. You’ll also see billboards and print ads, as well as digital ads and social media content.

As a part of this effort, we have developed resources for partners can access and share!

Honoring Pride and the Stonewall Uprising in 2021

It’s easy to get excited by the vibrancy and welcoming atmosphere of Pride Month festivities. Pride celebrations are known for an abundance of bright colors, catchy music, glitter, and joy. On the flip side, it’s uncomfortable to reflect on the historic and ongoing struggle of LGBTQ+ individuals to achieve equality in the US. Still, Pride also calls on us to acknowledge this history.

This year is a record-breaking year for anti-LGBTQ legislation, and the challenges facing LGBTQ individuals continue. It’s crucial for allies to actively support the LGBTQ+ community by educating themselves, understanding the history of LGBT rights and the importance of the Stonewall Uprising. In honor of Pride 2021, take a little time to research something new about LGBTQ history. Then, find new ways to take action and share the story of Stonewall and Pride with your community.
